Ivan and I did a 2.61 mile race pace run this morning. It was pretty cloudy, and looked like it was going to rain, but it did not. The run was really good. I always start out running the first mile at a very slow pace and then after that speed up the rest of the way, for these race pace runs. I love running so much, and one day would love to run in and complete a half marathon, and then a full marathon. I thank God for giving me the ability and time to be able to run.

Word Origin.
French, late 19th century

This word was originally coined as a French term meaning, naturally, "a person who frequents boulevards." "The Boulevardier" was a magazine edited by American socialite and Vanderbilt family member Erskine Gwynne, created to be a kind of Parisian "New Yorker" for Americans living in Paris in the 1920s. The magazine eventually inspired the name of the boulevardier cocktail, which also originated in 1920s Paris.
